Whoa, time travel? That's right! It's time for the return of a beloved character, a post apocalyptic wasteland, and needlessly picking apart plots and logic in an ill-fated attempt to digest that which is the new saga of Dragon Ball Super. Enjoy!

Finally, FINALLY. It's time for a new arc of Dragon Ball Super. Get ready for some...filler? It's all filler? Yep, it's all filler. Cool. Very fun and cool. Also, I wish I had come up with the nickname "Jelly Vegeta" while we recording, because it is very good.

Goku used kaioken x20 against Frieza in the Namek Saga

and I don't think that that needle is a part of Frost's body. he's the same race as Frieza, King Cold, and Cooler, who have no such thing. Additionally, if it were truly a part of his body, he wouldn't have felt the need to conceal it. You could argue that it granted him the element of surprise and battle, but he kept hiding it even from the referee. You very much get the sense that he knows he's doing something wrong.
